| Popis: | The aim of this study was to evaluate whether antral follicle size has any value with respect to antral follicle count (AFC) in predicting ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation. Patients who were considered to be normal responders based on their ovarian reserve markers were consecutively recruited. Total AFC was the number of 2-10 mm follicles in both ovaries. Antral follicles were separated into two subgroups according to the size: 2-5 mm and 6-10 mm follicles. Patients were divided into two main groups according to ovarian response to COS. Group 1 (suboptimal response, 4-9 oocytes retrieved, n = 61) and Group 2 (normal responders, ≥10 oocytes retrieved, n = 65). Demographic parameters were comparable between the groups. The number of 2-5 mm follicles was significantly lower in the suboptimal response group (5 [4:7] and 8 [6:10], respectively, p |
